The BSRs mentioned that Intellivision II made an appearance on That 70s Show - though the timeline was a little off. They had II's on a store shelf before it had actually been released.
They had Auto Racing and I think one other game on Knight Rider ... In fact I have meant to power watch to see just how many references, but, time.

Knight Rider used Auto Racing to TRACK a car they were after.
Also, Space Battle, but played with an Atari Joystick, so It may have been the M Network version?
Though just as easy to prerecord game play and give the actor the joystick to "play" with.
I just picked the series up for $20ish on DVD. Didn't think the Bluray for $50 was worth it? But the box was sweet for the Bluray version.

The original Vacation was on tv last night, although it was a old computer system Russ was playing on the sound effects were clearly intellivision games.
SNAFU, Space Battle, Poker, Football for sure.

I've been binge watching "The Americans". A currently running spy show set in the back drop of the 1980's. The son on the show had been begging for an Intellivision. Over several episodes they set it up. It got so frustrating for him he broke into a house to play Astrosmash.Any other TV show appearances for the Intellivision?

Saturday Night Live; Joe Piscopo previews the 1982 superbowl with Intellivision and Atari.

For those who don't know, the NFL Players Association went on strike in 1982; seven games were canceled in the middle of the season, and for a while in October/November that year a lot of people thought there might not be a Super Bowl at all. I'm guessing that's the backstory of this Joe Piscopo bit.
Anyhoo, there were a couple of Intellivision sightings in Married...With Children. In an early episode, Bud gets "a new video game" from the mall (what appears to be a new copy of Space Battle or Star Strike or some such). In the episode where Al takes his car to the carwash and it gets lost (it was actually just so old and dirty that when it came out clean nobody recognized it, lol), there's a boxed Intellivision II on a shelf inside the carwash. Why a carwash would be selling an Intellivision (and in the mid-'90s by this point) is beyond me, but what the hell.

If I remember correctly the movie "Cloak and Dagger" had a couple of scene with Intellivision on the store shelves.
Now I need to go look it up.

The Inty made more than one appearance on Knight Rider.
